Miley Cyrus steps out in a DSquared2 ebony backless gown at the 2009 VH1 Divas held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in NYC on Thursday night (September 17).

The 16-year-old singer will be performing with Grammy Award winner Sheryl Crow at the special concert tonight. American Idol alums Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks and Kelly Clarkson, along with British beauties Adele, and Leona Lewis will perform tonight with Miley.

Miley dished to USA Today recently about the concert, saying, “To be a diva, you have to pay your dues, but you don’t have to be older to have paid dues.”
